Thanks to everybody that responded to my problem.. Josh, I tested the diode and it was ok. While I couldn't find the diode, by looking at the wiring diagram I found that I could test the diode by connecting my meter to the red-blue wire on top of the filter dryer and the other lead to the white-red ...

Austin, Thank you very much for the response. I appreciate it. The jerk feels like the car had a bad spark plug wire and missed. Or maybe had 2 bad spark plug wires, since it is a fairly significant jerk. And it really seems strange that it does this, when the ac compressor cycles OFF, and that pull...

Josh: Thanks for responding. Regarding your question about when the AC first started jerking. It was fine for 30 some years. About 4 or 5 months ago, I first started getting the jerk. I have been further investigating the jerk. Because my passenger side sub-fan motor was bad, I put in a new one from...

Just a little update on my problem. While on vacation my 92 Legacy sat unused for a couple of weeks. My friend who has ac gauges found that he had an adapter to go from a 7/16" to 3/8" schrader valve. We attached the gauges started the engine and the ac worked great! The pressures on the h...

The sentence above that reads "However, with a hose with a 3/8 schrader fitting I can't check the high pressure side." should read "However, without a hose with a 3/8 schrader fitting I can't check the high pressure side." The sentence above that reads " I tried to bleed off...

Thank you both for responses Josh and Arse_sidewards. I appreciate it very much! Well, I am back from vacation and had a little time to work on my Subaru ac and tried (and screwed up) what you guys said to do. A. I unplugged the alternator and drove. Most of the jerks on compressor cycle shutoff wen...

Sideways: Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that. Right now I am going to take a 2 week vacation and will not be able to try it until after that, but I will. I will get back to you in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the response... I appreciate it. No, the fan isn't locked up. It turns freely by hand. Moreover, I took the passenger side sub fan out of the car, and the car still jerks with the sub fan relay (left most relay) installed. It does not jerk, when I take the sub fan relay out. That's the bi...

Josh, Thank you for moving my post to the correct spot. I had some difficulty learning the web site. I have a Calsonic ac system. The car will jerk in 3rd or 4th gear even if accelerating only lightly. Sometimes I can even feel a slight jerk, when going mildly downhill. I discovered some more about ...

About a month ago my 92 Legacy (manual transmission, non turbo) began to jerk, when the AC is on. When the AC is off, I never get the jerk. At first, when driving, the jerk made me think I had a bad spark plug wire or even a bad coil (causing 2 cylinders to malfunction), the jerk was so severe. Howe...
